I loved the gag at the end of the trailer with Stiller and Vaughn with the guns. I feel like I might be the only person on this forum to like the finished product.

I think that red band trailer looks awesome! I can't wait to see it.

Kind of reminds me of Attack the Block to an extent, though I didn't care for that one. I think it has potential. Plus Dean Learner Richard Ayoade

I did enjoy the bit at the end w/ the "dead" alien though. Otherwise...meh.

I used to really like Vince Vaughn, but he's been phoning it in for years now. I guess you could say the same about Hill (aside from Moneyball) and Stiller as well.

I think the trailers were better than the actual movie - you'd think that with these actors this had potential but ultimately the movie was very mediocre.

Saw this today. Those that thought it looked terrible from the trailers won't be disappointed. I thought the plot had a lot of potential for the funny, but I don't think I chuckled more than once or twice. Scenes that I probably would have found funnier were played out in the trailer, so they lacked any surprise. I did like the final 1/2 hour more than the previous hour so it semi-redeemed itself (in my eyes) with a decent finale.
I went in expecting Ben, Vince and Jonah playing themselves, so I wasn't surprised by their usual performances being given. My wife probably enjoyed herself more than I did. She fell asleep about 15 minutes in and woke up during the final 15 minutes.

Dang everyone is hating on this. I had really low expectations and they were met and not in a bad way. It was exactly what I was expecting, very stupid and juvenile and that seemed pretty clear in the trailers. The audience I saw it with was enjoying themselves but I'm sure the beer helped. It was in no way a classic and I remember thinking I sure had no desire to buy this but I laughed many times and we all had a good time.The only thing I totally hated was the main cop. Nothing funny about him and I really wanted him to die.

I thought this looked like it had potential but after seeing the trailer more times and reading reviews I think I'll just wait on a rental. Hill can be funny but Vaughn and Stiller are both really hit and miss for me. Was never really much of a Forte fan when he was on MADtv.

Just saw this move today. I thought it might be funny but the jokes were lame. The rest of the audience seemed to find it hilarious though.
